Optics Coatings Reflectivity Graph

The graph shows the standard Al + MgF2 optics

coatings reflection efficiency versus wavelength.

Protected silver coated optics option is also

available on request for maximum efficiency in the

NIR region and is recommended for working with

Andor iDus InGaAs detectors or IR single-point

detectors, such as MCT, PbS and InSb.

When choosing protected silver coatings, it is

strongly recommended to also order protected

silver coated gratings for maximum efficiency

throughout the system.

Step 2a - Choosing The Right Platform vs Dispersion Requirements

Czerny-Turner spectrographs are designed to provide the best optical performance for a range of grating angles as reflected on the green parts of the

graph above. Outside this range, the spectral lines may exhibit a degree of optical aberration (such as coma), which will become more prominent at the

steeper angles. These configurations are reflected by the orange to red scales on the graph. In these regions, consideration should be given to higher

spectrograph focal length models with lower groove density gratings to achieve the desired resolution.

Where aberration is a concern for a particular experimental set-up, the table above shows resolution and band-pass performance for a variety

of alternative configurations. This should be used in conjunction with the graph above to assist in selecting the most appropriate Shamrock

spectrograph platform to meet resolution and band-pass needs, whilst minimising the risk of potential aberration.

Step 2b - Choosing The Right Grating vs Resolution & Band-pass

The Shamrock 500i features an innovative triple grating turret, designed to offer flexibility and control over your choice and

interchange of gratings. The triple grating turret can be easily and speedily removed, and replaced by an alternative turret

with new gratings. The intelligent design of the 500i means that only a simple offset adjustment is required once the new

turret and gratings are added. The 500i is shipped with the grating turret already in place, ensuring your system is ready

for use straight out of the box. Additional grating turrets are available with up to three pre-installed gratings (see below for

details). If the grating you require is not on the list, please contact Andor for further details. Additional grating turrets (part

number SR-ASM-0085) can also be supplied on request.

Footnotes: Specifications are subject to change without notice1. In the case of a multiple grating turret order, please specify desired grating configuration for each turret.2. SR-SHT-9002 calls for 1x shutter. For dual input port options (C, D1 & D2) it is recommended to order a

shutter for each port. Shutter operation only requires BNC to SMB cable from USB cameras or BNC to BNC cable from IO box for PCI iStar.

3. Typical values quoted with 27.6 mm wide CCD, e.g. Newton DU940. 4. Typical values quoted with 10 μm slit and 13.5 μm pixel CCD, e.g. Newton DU940.5. Typical values quoted at 500 nm centre wavelength.6. Typical values quoted at 300 nm centre wavelength.7. Typical values quoted at maximum efficiency wavelength or blaze wavelength unless otherwise stated.8. Wavelength within the recommended operating spectral region. 9. Indicative values; the working range of these gratings is principally in the region where optical aberrations may alter

the system resolution performance quoted.10. Values shown are representative of a triple grating system, where resolution has been optimized to give the best

performance for the three gratings and across the full recommended wavelength range. Useful signal is assumed to be imaged on the entire height of a 6.9 mm sensor (i.e. Newton DU940) and fully vertically binned.

11. Please refer to F/# matcher specification sheet for magnification considerations.12. Please refer to the local sales representative or website for further information on available options and

complimentary accessories.13. Slit widths range from 10 μm to 2.5 mm.14. For B2 and D2 configurations only - to be ordered separately.15. Please specify relevant port at time of order.16. Provided as standard.17. Recommended for use with fibre-optics and C-mount accessories.18. Measured with a 633 nm laser and a 1200 l/mm grating for Full Vertical Binning (FVB) on a 6.9 mm high

sensor, and a 1 mm strip vertically centred on the optical axis.19. Average measurements using > 30 calibration lines, covering the recommended grating angle operating

range with a 1200 l/mm grating.20. The standard deviation of 20 measurements of a peak’s centre-of-mass position: between each

measurement the drive is moved 10x including both wavelength and grating changes to reflect typical use.21. Side accuracy measured using a 27.6 mm wide sensor, reflecting the dispersion calibration and step-and-

glue accuracy.
